Teodolinda

Teodolinda M. V. is 45 years old: she only completed primary school. She has three children all of whom are dependent on her. She lives in the district of El Provenir in the province of Trujillo in the department of La Libertad - Perú.

She started-up her business selling groceries, vegetables and clothes to wear, to sell in the various mountain villages of the region. Recently she has begun another business together with her daughter, which is the sale of pharmaceutical products.

She was invited by a friend to participate in the Community Bank “Dios de Bendición” (God’s Blessing) from which she obtained her last loan, which served to stock her business and to take advantage of the Christmas season. This went very well and she made a good profit.

With this loan of 1700 Soles, which will be repaid in 4 months she has decided to buy shelving and all types of medicine to set-up her new business with her daughter.

Her dearest wish is to have a vehicle for transportation, in which she would be able to share out their merchandise between different places.
